The following morning, as expected, Su Rong proposed allowing women to participate in the Golden Autumn Imperial Examinations, with an age restriction of under forty-five.
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire court was shocked. Several senior ministers immediately protested, claiming that this act was inappropriate by the Princess. Current court affairs had just stabilized, and this year's lenient examinations were already a pressing matter. If women were also allowed to participate, it would create chaos.
Su Rong calmly retorted, "It will not be chaotic. Uncle Xie is the chief examiner. A small matter like this, Uncle Xie will keep under control."
With this single sentence, she pushed the responsibility onto Xie Yuan.
